Lumia

Lumia is a series of smartphones running the Windows Phone operating system made by Microsoft. Nokia started the line with the Lumia 800 in November 2011. The rights to Lumia were transferred to Microsoft when the Redmond-based company bought Nokia's mobile phone business. There are over twenty Windows Phone in the Lumia lineup. The Lumia name comes from the world 'lumi', which means snow in Finnish.

There are five Lumia handsets running the Windows Phone 7.x operating system. There's the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710, which were the two first Nokia phones made with Windows Phone. Nokia then followed with the Lumia 510, 610 and 900. The Lumia 900 was an AT&T exclusive in the United States
